Although the camera has been in use for about 3 years, nothing has broken or shattered. Camera is rather light, and it fits into all mounts securely (official). In conclusion, I heartily endorse this camera! These are some advantages: Shooting at WVGA 60FPS, 720p30FPS, 720p 60FPS, 960p30FPS, and 1080p30FPS results in excellent quality. Performs well in freezing conditions (down to -30). The battery may last for 4-5 hours of shooting on a single charge. (I engage in airsoft, so I am aware of this.) Pros below: There are no significant drawbacks, but there is a minor one: boxing can be challenging to put on and remove. Force must be used. But, this is the only issue, and even then, I believe it is because the camera in the box tumbled quite a little.
